Banning the use of cell phones whilst driving has not been successful according to this report published by the New Zealand Herald.
"Drivers are flouting the ban on hand-held cellphones - new figures show a phone-related car crash almost every two days, dozens of injuries and five deaths last year."
It was interesting to see the National Party, so quick to lambast Labour for even discussing bans of anything at all, so quickly move to ban cellphones and other troublesome items - such as cough mixtures, defying their own rhetoric about the Nanny State and excessive political correctness. This report might give them and their supporters pause to think about hypocrisy as well as the effectiveness of bans as a method of changing behaviour.
